NOCTURNAL RITES is Active Once Again and All is Right With the World

There are bands which are badly missed once they disappear from the scene. One of those examples are Swedish melodic metal masters Nocturnal Rites, who released their latest album The 8th Sin in 2007 and afterwards slowly slipped into a hiatus kind of situation.

AFM Records has delivered some very good news now: NOCTURNAL RITES are back! And not only that; the band has just put finishing touches on their brand new album, titled Phoenix, which will be released on September 29th via AFM.

The band states: “We can’t wait to share this new album with everyone. It’s been long overdue. Needless to say, it feels great to finally be back.”

NOCTURNAL RITES are:

Jonny Lindqvist – Vocals
Nils Eriksson – Bass
Per Nilsson – Lead Guitar
Fredrik Mannberg – Guitar
Owe Lingvall – Drums
